A sterling effort from starter Andy Pettitte was long forgotten by the 11th, when the Tribe used two walks and two singles against Luis Vizcaino to push across the winning run. Melky Cabrera homered early but the lead went up in smoke in the eighth.

A pair of wild pitches in the eighth allowed the Indians to tie the game in support of Fausto Carmona, who gave up three hits in nine innings. Then, after the Tribe went 20 plate appearances between hits, Travis Hafner smacked the game-winner.
